Hey everybody! Thanks for watching this video, “The Story of the Best Meme EVER: Never Gonna Give You Up & Rickrolling”. Rick Astley’s 1987 song, “Never Gonna Give You Up” is an absolute classic in the 80’s canon. It’s catchy, dance-able, and I love every second of it. But what’s even more interesting than the song itself, is what happened yeaaaaaaaars down the road. From around 2005-2008, an unforgettable meme/prank was created: Rickrolling. It’s a classic, bait-and-switch gag that sends an unsuspecting user to the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. How and why did this happen? And what effect did it have on Rick? Check it out here!
